Your thought please?!

This is my #3 baby so I should know this but it has been ten and half years since the last time so it's all a bit hazy!!
Woke up this morning feeling alot slower and even more uncomfortable on feet than ever. In the past hour I've become aware of lower backache and period type pains in my bump, varying between the middle and lower part.
Baby is active, I'd anything a little more so than usual. I'm 34+2.

Do you think it's just normal bodily preperations or should I phone triage? No show or leaking waters just the period type pains.

I am 34+3 #3 baby. Yesterday I had an appointment with the gp as the midwife could not fit me in, and I mentioned to him that I have been feeling a pressure pain and a period type of feeling. He was not worried at all and said he would only be concerned if I was having Sharpe pain and/or blood. Maybe still phone to put your mind at ease though. Take Care.

Your baby now weighs about 2.4kg and measures around 46cm from head to toe. Soon, as the wall of your uterus (womb) and your belly stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles. Read More
